“His family’s here, his children, and he was a real leader in the community and extremely charitable to different organizations here too,” a source told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY about Robin’s love of Tiburon. “I’m sure he’d want his final resting place to be here in the bay. He could have lived anywhere on the planet, but wanted to be here. It’s only fitting he’d be buried or spread somewhere in the bay.”

As we all continue to mourn the loss of a generous, kind and endlessly talented man, HollywoodLife.com has learned that Robin’s friend Billy Crystal, 66, will honor Robin at the 2014 Emmy Awards on Aug. 25.

“The family has been invited,” a source close to Robin’s family toldHollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. “They most likely aren’t going to join Billy Crystal on stage and have not decided if they want to attend. They want the night to be about Robin and his memory and they are under the impression that if they are there, it may take a way from what Billy and the show has lined up for the tribute.”
